Glazed Chocolate Donuts

Ingredients

• 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cup confectioner's sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk
• Sprinkles

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, use a hand-held mixer to blend together the milk, sour cream and eggs.

3. 3

   Next, beat in the butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Beat into the wet ingredients.

5. 5

   Dump the entire batter into a large Ziploc bag. Cut one of the lower corners off the bag, and in a circular pattern, fill the donut pan about 3/4 way full. Tap the pan firmly on the kitchen counter to get the batter to settle into the pan.

6. 6

   Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool.

7. 7

   When the donuts have fully cooled, whisk together the confectioner's sugar and milk until the icing is smooth and consistent.

8. 8

   Dip the donut, top side down, into the icing. Lightly shake the excess icing off the donut, or gently drag the iced part of the donut over the rim of the icing bowl.

9. 9

   Place the glazed donut onto a wire cooling rack and add sprinkles.

10. 10

    If you want to decorate some donuts with the drizzled icing, put aside half of the donuts with just the glaze - no sprinkles. Divide the leftover glaze and use gel food colouring to colour the glaze. Transfer the glaze to small Ziploc sandwich bags, cut of a small bit of the lower corner, and drizzle the glaze over the donuts.

    Allow glaze to firm up before serving. Enjoy!
